No English references available to validate notability for English Wikipedia. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 22:34, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: That is not a valid deletion rationale. The group is notable, in Japan, and that means the group is notable for coverage internationally. The article contains 3 separate and independent references supporting the group's notability and the statements made regarding the group. First you (Jsfouche) said the group fails WP:MUSIC when it doesn't. Now you're saying that because its references aren't in English, then it's not notable for coverage on the English Wikipedia?— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 22:35, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Fastest possible Delete If it is notable in japan then by all means; add on wikipedia.jp! Since it is not notable here it does not need an article here! Signed by Barts1a Suggestions/complements? Complaints? 22:41, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The multiple wikipedias are not separated by geography; they're separated by language used by their readers. Notability in Japan is Notability. TJRC (talk) 22:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly what I've been saying to barts1a. Notability established in any nation or language is notability established period.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 22:50, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The person that filed this AfD needs a good trouting! — Preceding unsigned comment added by barts1a (talk • contribs)
 * Note: changed his !vote from "Fastest Possible Delete" to "Keep", but also removed other users' comments and his initial comment in the process. I have replaced his original comment, the replies to it, struck through the "Fastest Possible Delete" part, and placed his subsequent comment below it.— Ryūlóng  ( 竜龙 ) 23:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Substantial references (although in non-English language) to support notability.  The rational for proposed deletion ("No English References") is not a valid basis for deletion. TJRC (talk) 22:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per Innappropriate reason cited by nominator. Per WP:GNG : "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. (emphasis mine). - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 22:49, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

 * "Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones, unless no English sources of equal quality and relevance are available." That means English-language sources are preferred; not that they are required. TJRC (talk) 22:56, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
